Singer Ian McCulloch and original guitarist Will Sergeant have never lost the magic touch in more than 25 years of making music together. An enthralling set of hits (compared to all the new material they played the next night at their official showcase) made me realize how many acts owe their existence to the Bunnymen. The recent operatic tendencies of Bono, not to mention his addiction to wearing sunglasses on stage, seem inspired by the guy who did it first, McCulloch. He also has the swagger and singing delivery of Oasis' Liam Gallagher, the melodic sense and soaring vocals of Coldplay's Chris Martin and the song title-stealing of Muse ("Absolution"). McCulloch's inane stage banter and his badgering of the audience endeared him more than ever at this show, proving b to me at least b that nobody does it better. bKaren Pace ===================================================================== Bunnymen Online Presence: http://www.bunnymenlist.com * http://www.bunnymen.info http://www.bunnymen.com * http://www.fotolog.net/sgtfuzz/ http://bunnymen.nexuswebs.net/ * http://www.angelfire.com/wy2/discog/ * ====================================================================== ------------------------------ End of seven-seas-digest V5 #67 *******************************
